Omuraisu!
Both my boys; the dad & son, sure love eating omuraisu. They like Nasi Pattaya too which, in a way is pretty similar to omuraisu. But ask Raimie which one he likes better, he'll answer omuraisu!

Omuraisu (omu from "omelette" and raisu from "rice") is basically fried rice (most often with diced chicken and onion) seasoned with salt, pepper, and ketchup, then wrapped in a thin, sweet omelette.
Nasi Pattaya is also fried rice (with chicken, prawn and maybe frozen mixed vege thrown in) wrapped in omelette and is also slathered with ketchup/chilli sauce on top.
I've been meaning to cook omuraisu at home, but somehow managed to not do it yet. ^^
Which one of the above would you like to have?
woot! both i don't mind having at all! but tell that to my husband, he would want every last bite of it since he's a huge egg lover! :D
ReplyDelete@levian,
ReplyDeleteThen I bet your hubby would love this dish a lot. Haven't tried them yet? If you haven't, then you must! :)
They look healthy... good for kids especially egg lovers!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely omuraisu! I was just in Pasta Zanmai for lunch :)
ReplyDeleteBoth are nice but I like nasi Pattaya for the spiciness. Chinese fried rice includes the egg in the fried rice itself in addition to a combo of some of these - onions, garlic, ginger, mixed frozen veggies, slices of Chinese sausage, salted fish as well as garnished with the smaller version of anchovies. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI love omrice too and it is very easy to make at home. I prefer mine drizzled with tomato sauce over the omelette and garnished with fresh parsley.

@reanaclaire,
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a dish for egg lovers. Just look at those omelette on top of the rice!
@sriyany,
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm thinking of going to Pasta Zanmai tomorrow. ^^
@HappySurfer,
ReplyDeleteYou are really making me hungry now! LOL
I don;t know what omuraisu is , first time hearing it but anything and everything Japanese, i sure like one...............
ReplyDelete@Japan Australia,
ReplyDeleteSounds nice. :)
@eugene,
ReplyDeleteI think you would. :)
But how come you never heard of it before?
Yummy! Except for the eel. I don't eat eel.
ReplyDelete@Mei Teng,
ReplyDeleteThere are other omuraisu to try. :)
hahaha!! thanks for reminding me the Thai style omuraisu - our infamous Nasi Pattaya~~ :D
ReplyDeletebut i would think omuraisu taste nicer because the egg that wraps the rice is more substance and tastier..
ReplyDeleteand oh, i love that with tomato gravy too, it enhances the taste of the whole dish..
ReplyDelete@SK,
ReplyDeleteThose omuraisu's eggs sure are denser than Nasi Pattaya. :)
I actually prefer if its a "meato sauce" meat sauce rather than just plain tomato gravy. :)
And am thinking of going to Pasta Zanmai tomorrow. See whether we'll another another plate of omuraisu or not. XD
That Omaraisu and pattaya sound delicious...and look so yummy. Do you have the recipes? If not, I might research and have my husband make them for me.
ReplyDelete@Bing,
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't have the recipe.
But it's easy to find them on the net. :)
the next time you cook omuraisu at home, do count me in my friend.
ReplyDeleteYummylicious!! I want omuraisu! : )
ReplyDeleteAnd of course in tomato sauce, my favourite!! Eggs + tomato = Delicious!!!
ReplyDelete@LR,
ReplyDeleteBut would I make such a delicious omuraisu to make it worthwhile your trip. ^^
@foong,
ReplyDeleteHahaha... you have the same taste as Raimie. :)
Whoa, that sounds absolutely delicious :D I must try it sometime. But then must run like crazy just to burn the calories ... LOL!
ReplyDelete@Nick,
ReplyDeleteNot as bad as eating curry lah... LOL
I'd love to try that too!
ReplyDelete@Ayie,
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can try when you go eat something Japanese next time? Or when you guys visit Japan someday? :)
